Open chest, open breath

Todays movement for freedom:
   Come to all fours. You can do this right now, on the floor next to your computer :)
   Find a belt, scarf or strap and have handy.
   Step your right foot in between your hands and bring both hands onto your right knee. You may be sensing a bit of a stretch in your left thigh right now. Bring your torso upright and raise your arms overhead. Connect your hands with the belt or strap, about shoulder width apart.
   Bend your elbows out and draw you shoulder blades together. Line up the belt with the back of your head. Pull out on the belt and lift your chest to the sky. Breathe deeply 10 times and enjoy! Then hit up the second side for 10 deep breaths to balance out. For a gold star, energetically pull your front foot back and your back knee forward without moving them. Drop your tail and lift longer through your belly.
   Mmmmm...Yummy!

Neck Release

Aahhhh....take a minute and ease your aching neck! Sometimes I look around this world and see a bunch of heads wandering around with no body attached. Lets do a quick neck release and help our head and heart match up a bit.

Bring your hands behind you and interlace your fingers with your palms together. Now bring that fist to your right hip, and imagine that if I were looking at you face on I could see your knuckles. Please drop your head to the right. Let your left shoulder blade slide toward your spine and now, and slightly tilt your jaw toward the sky. You can use a little intuition here to find that "sweet spot." Count 10 slow breaths. Repeat second side.

Love yourself!!!
